项目概要/摘要 ThymUS 2020 淋巴细胞生成、T 细胞分化和免疫重建国际会议 (http://www.thymusmeeting.org/2020) 将于 2020 年 5 月 2 日至 6 日在夏威夷州维雷亚海滩举行。这是第六届 会议的迭代，这是唯一一次专门讨论胸腺主题的美国会议 和 T 淋巴细胞分化，以及这些过程在衰老和疾病过程中如何改变。的 因此，会议具有独特的科学内容，涉及高度动态和多产的适应性领域 免疫、胸腺器官发生以及 T 细胞发育和分化，并且与耐药性相关 感染、从出生到衰老的免疫稳态、治疗或病理性 T 细胞后的免疫重建 消融、自我耐受和自身免疫。重要的是，会议提供了几个无与伦比的功能， 包括（i）对胸腺生物学的独特关注，这在美洲是独一无二的； (ii) 所有与会者的费用低廉， 为学员提供额外补贴； (iii) 极其丰富的公正演讲机会， 特别关注学员； (iv) 高度刺激的非正式互动环境，为学员提供 在会议期间能够接触到该领域的领导人。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The ThymUS 2020 International Conference on Lymphopoiesis, T cell Differentiation and Immune Reconstitution (http://www.thymusmeeting.org/2020) will be held in Wailea Beach, HI from May 2-6, 2020. This is the sixth iteration of the conference, which is the only US-based meeting specifically dedicated to the topic of the thymus and T lymphocyte differentiation, and how these processes are altered during aging and by disease. The conference therefore has a unique scientific content, addressing the highly dynamic and prolific field of adaptive immunity, thymus organogenesis, and T cell development and differentiation, and is relevant for resistance to infection, immune homeostasis from birth to aging, immune reconstitution after therapeutic or pathologic T cell ablation, self-tolerance, and autoimmunity. Importantly, the conference provides several unparalleled features, including (i) a singular focus on thymus biology, which is unique in the Americas; (ii) low cost to all attendees, with additional subsidies provided to trainees; (iii) an extremely rich array of unbiased presentation opportunities, with special attention to trainees; and (iv) a highly stimulating informal interactive environment, providing trainees with access to leaders in the field for the duration of the conference.
